Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a business of Cassava Technologies, a pan-African technology group, has successfully installed the Mauritius Telecom T3 subsea cable connecting Mauritius to South Africa.
This cable has been deployed at Liquid’s landing facility in Amanzimtoti, south of Durban. The move will bring a much-needed boost to the stability and redundancy around the connectivity that exists between the two countries.
The T3 cable consists of four fibre pairs, with a design capacity of 13.5 Tbps per fibre pair and 54 Tbps for the whole system. With this, Liquid Intelligent Technologies South Africa is bringing a critical increase in the availability of high-speed and reliable Internet connectivity for economies in the Indian Ocean islands to South Africa, leveraging on Liquid’s 110,000km of fibre backbone in Africa.
In addition to bringing reliable internet connectivity to South Africa, this partnership will also have a positive impact by stimulating economic growth and contributing to the overall development of the community by creating job opportunities. concluded Geyser.
